While regulation is desirable, it's not practical in vintage designs. In new/DIY designs, regulation may be possible but it adds expense and size, esp at higher power levels. Real world implementation of regulation typically involves solid state devices that in my experience are not as reliable as the tube circuits they supply....kinda brute force too. I prefer circuit/component solutions if possible. As always YMMV.
